MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia said on Wednesday it had barred entry to a German member of the European Parliament because her name is on a blacklist of officials who had a role in imposing sanctions on Moscow over Ukraine.

Rebecca Harms was refused entry to Russia last week, where she was hoping to attend a court hearing for a Ukrainian officer captured by pro-Russian rebels in east Ukraine and now held in Moscow.
